Mystical Fullmoon - looking for drummer!

The Mystical Fullmoon begins to shine in late 1994 e.v. when Thaumiel (vox/guitar) and Equinoxe (drums, nowadays the only survivor of the first line-up) join their forces in a grim death/black metal project called Morbid Entity; the following year the monicker is changed, and they are reached by Lord Erebor (rhythm guitar) and It (bass), thus settling the first core of the band.
Between april and october 1996 e.v., following the defection of It, the line-up is strenghtened with the arrival of the bassist Asaradel (now Gnosis), and of the keybordist Artorius, coming from the doom/gothic act Forever Fallen Darkness, now Labyrinthus Noctis .
This line-up produces and records the debut demotape "Through somber passages" in february 1997 e.v. with the technical supervision of Robert Klister, ex drummer of thrash icons Bulldozer ; the tape gets enthusiastic reviews in all the world.
In september 1997 e.v. Thaumiel leaves the band: his role as singer is then taken by Artorius, and the band is joined by two new members, the keybordist Arcanus Incubus, already involved in Mortuarium (now EXM93 ), and Hexe Ghoberg (now Hexe) as session lead guitarist. During the fall of this same year, the band gets in contact with several labels, and chooses to sign a deal with Alkaid Records from Italy (Theatres des Vampires, Maldoror), a new label created by ex members of the famous doom act Ras Algethi: with this label Mystical Fullmoon release the "Beyond somber passages" ep in february 1998 e.v., basically the reprint of the well-selling demotape, plus two new tracks, published in a special digipack format in a limited edition.
In this period the band is also featured on several underground samplers in all the world, both on tape and on CD.
The line-up finds again a stable identity in october 1998 e.v., with Asaradel as singer, and Artorius as lead guitarist.
In may 1999 e.v. the band produces a two-tracks promo CD, not for sale, in order to mark a definite end to their professional connections with Alkaid Records, and to show the new evolution of their music: this promo presents indeed an innovative and experimental style, and gathers excellent reviews everywhere.
During the following summer, both guitarists leave the band due to personal reasons; the remaining three musicians go on for about two years playing with various session guitarists: to this period belongs the grim "Live in Lu" CD, the obscure and raw record of a live gig on Walpurgisnacht, released by Vomit Arcanus Productions , an underground label run by Arcanus Incubus.
Eventually, the return of Hexe (as an official member of the line-up, from now on) marks the beginning of a monumental and ambitious project of "restyling" of all the unreleased material written in the previous 4 years, project that will end in 2005 e.v., bringing to the recording of the first full-lenght album, scheduled for 2006 e.v., that will unveil new perspectives and new nuances in the artistic identity of the band: an innovative mix of extreme doom, death and black metal, electronica, noise and ritual percussions, for a style - once more - far from trends and from compromises.
